very time I read or see the risky environment my people dwell in Nigeria, particularly women, I feel sad, drained, and passionately fueled to contribute my little quota to our boring and repetitious national conversation and orientation. In Nigeria, sexual exploitation and sensualization of our girls and women is sickening! The prevalent poverty and harsh economic conditions have contributed to this precarious situation in the country.
Meanwhile, roads are death traps. Good schools and education are beyond the reach of the ordinary man's children. Religion is used as opium and tool of manipulation by some shameless, con, and audacious religious leaders. Prevalent poverty, squalor, hunger, lies, manipulation, religion, and among others, are used to swindle gullible religious congregants. The most intellectual embarrassment is the involvement of some PhD holders and individuals subjecting their hard-earned doctorate degrees to the whims and caprices of their religious masters.
According to National Bureau of Statistics, unemployment rate in Nigeria is more than 6%, and poverty rate is 40.1%. While the rich flaunt their ill-gotten wealth, children of people with low incomes are struggling with anger and hunger. The general hopelessness in the homeland has created massive undiagnosed depression and mental health issues. In Nigeria, sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV, gonorrhea, syphilis, among others are silently ravaging our youth and boisterous population. Social media is awash with Nigerian young population of women engaging in the tweaking and exhibition of their big buttocks with unprotected sexual prosmicuity. Our beloved country is sitting on keg of gunpowder.
Meanwhile, the rate at which girls, child girls, ladies, and women are demeaningly sexualized in Nigeria is alarming! Social media has exposed the stark nudity of the daughters of mother Nigeria. Pang and pangs of hunger are weapons of mass destruction used by Nigerian leaders. Unprotected sex and sexually promiscuous children permeate our society. Sexually transmitted diseases are endemic. Religious manipulators and pedophiles are sprawling everywhere to abuse poor and vulnerable families sexually.
Furthermore, the children of the poor in schools and colleges have to be sexually compromised before they can pass their exams. If the girl child manages to graduate, she must be a sexual pawn of the foolish employers before she can get a job. Religious leaders prey on the gullibility of their sheepish congregants; they take from the poor peters to pay the rich pauls. Meanwhile, some religious manipulators, called pastors, have stopped carrying embarrassing miracle crutches since they were exposed by Dr. Abel Damina. Dr. Abel Damina seems to be a menace to some of these shameless pastors and their gullible followers in Nigeria.
In reality, where I live in the USA, we have many Amazon warehouses twice the size of what I call the Sanctuary of Deceit and Lies in Nigeria. These warehouses are production depots that manufacture goods and services for millions of Americans and beyond. Tenth to thousands of people are fully engaged and gainfully employed. Interested college and high school children are fully employed on holidays.
The Nigerian congregants stay redundant, listening to blaspheming of Christ and insulting other people's faith on their pulpits of lies and manipulations. Some of these so-called pastors have always proudly laughed off their followers' ignorance. Shame unto people who are ignorantly listening and shouting in a state of foolery. One wonders why poor Africans cum Nigerians continue to wallow in a state of squalor, hunger, and hopelessness. Ignorance is indeed a chronic disease. If this point of plateau evolving in Nigeria doesn't disturb or give you concern, you must have lost your moral and souls to your Nigerian religious and political leaders.
Moreover, while religious leaders and politicians use poverty to decimate the cognitive reasoning of their followers, many of our people are helplessly in a state of denial and hopelessness. I swear, the solution to our self-induced problems is not far-fetched; it is in our hands. But are Nigerians ready to understand and change gears away from self-ruination? May our people have mercy on themselves before God will come to their rescue in adversity. Unfortunately, our people pray ceaselessly for prayers to be answered without inputting spiritual ingredients (truth, morality, decency, integrity, conscience, godliness, true love, etc.). ?`??` tí pò jù ni ìlú Nàìjíríà (Sins are very prevalent in Nigeria). We must go back to the basics and reorder Nigeria.
